Beautiful royal love story. I'm so happy he stood up for himself and got to marry the woman he loved. I'm American but most of my ancestry is from Norway so I am proud. I've been learning a lot of the history and hope to visit one day.
This wedding had unlike any other, only few European nations attended but there were no British royalty due to the death of Marina, Duchess of Kent a couple of days earlier. Marina was related to the Norwegian royalty.
in 1:34:03 there is a funny scene when he tells her to bow to his parents... By the way, I like how in love they seem to be. It was obviously a love match. Look also how his face expression changes at 58:53. I believe he is looking at her.
Dort dabei war auch der König 👑 von Schweden Gustav VI. Adolf Der König 👑 von Dänemark Frederik IX. Und ich weiß es nicht ob Sie auch dabei war Königin 👑 Elisabeth II.
Thank you for sharing this! I hope you will be able in Norway to maintain your monarchy. I read some weeks ago about some law-projects on giving up the monarchy in Norway. In Romania, though a Republic, we are are very nostalgic about the monarchy and there is a strong movement, especially among the youth for the restoration of the monarchy. The Romanian royal family also has some role in the society, but of course, not as in a true monarchy. In case of a referendum, how would the Norwegian society vote?
The monarchy is pretty popular in the Norwegian population. Around 80% want to keep the monarchy, according to the latest polls. The law-proposal you read about is nothing extraordinary. Every parliamentary term, which means every 4 years, the Socialist-Left Party make a law-proposal to turn Norway into a parliamentary republic. I think it's a matter of principal for them, more than an actual dislike of the current system. They have been in government with no issues, and there are even some socialists who actively support the monarchy. Myself included.
Would somone from Norway tell me what the longest prayer in Christendom is about. The Bride and Groom aged during it. Are Civilian Marriages subject to the same prayer. The greatest church emptyr, Oh thank God!! He just Amen.
Det var svart og hvitt i 1968. Norge var seint ute med farge-TV. Som Einar Førde sa fra Stortingets talestol når de debatterte om det skulle innføres farge-TV i Norge, han karakteriserte motstandere: "Me får finne oss i at synda er komen til jorda, men me vil ikkje ha ho i fargar."
Yes, I would think so. They were secret lovers for 9 years before they were allowed to marry. Sonja was a normal upper middle-class woman with no nobel background. King Olav wwas more conservative, and he thought royals had to marry royals. Not until Harald threathened his father to remain unmarried for the rest of his life did the King give his approval.
